Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Northwest Portland

I really love my experience here. It felt like I was part of the kitchen and the experience. Great suggestions. All the servers had their favorite things and had amazing input. I can't wait to bring my friends back here.

Excellent every time we are there. My father in law loves their vegetarian food.

Serrato has been a go-to for awhile due to consistently interesting and tasty preparations, attentive but not intrusive service, and an open, welcoming space with sufficient noise control that it's possible to have a conversation across the table without shouting or lip reading. We took our mostly pescetarian out-of-town friends last night and they thoroughly enjoyed it as well.

Third time at Yalla. They have this dialed in! Excellent flavors, nice presentation, comfortable dining room. Service is always "spot on". What impresses me most, is how they handle unexpected situations. We showed up for a reservation (for 4), and they offered a table in the front of the restaurant by the door. Was a little cold and breezy on that day, so we asked for a different table. We were told that unfortunately, none were available, as they had a large party coming in, so many tables had been combined. A minute later, the hostess came back and told me they'd rearrange things for the other party, and offered us a table further away from the door. Very nice gesture - they totally could have just forgotten about it, but they made an effort to be accommodating. Same reservation, we were waiting on one last plate (food is served family-style, so plates come out throughout the meal). Asked about it, and the server told us that she thought it was coming up. She left, and a couple minutes later, the manager came out and apologized for the delay. He acknowledged that they had missed the dish, so he immediately brought it out, with an extra appetizer, and comped them both. Again, could have just brought the plate and not said anything, but they went the "extra mile" to provide an exceptional experience. Will certainly be back.

Excellent food. Staff were welcoming and warm. Waitress was very helpful in marking the menu to show what foods were gluten free. Cider was super tasty. Lamb chops were delectable, highly recommend. 10/10 would visit again.
